Be it known that l. 'lnonns A. QUINLAN, sini ale tools or a machine may be employed a citizen of the United States. and a resident if desired. In the drawing loop & is shown of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the as folded about hook 7, loop about bar 8 5 county of Kings and State of New York, and loop 6 about hook 9. A convenient 60 have invented certain new and useful linmanner of forming said loops is to loop por- .provements in Processes of Tying, of which tion 3 of the ribbon about bar 8, and then to the following is a. specification. engage opposite portions of the ribbon ad- This invention relates to bow ties and to jacent said her by means of hooks 7 and 9 10 processes for tying the same. The object and then simultaneously to draw those hooks 65 of my improvements is to provide a bow tie tothe loft thereby forming loops 4 and 6.

simple in character and pleasing in appear- In any case after the two or three loops once, and :1 process therefor reliable in re are lorrned, either successively or-pnrtly' si- 111c. multaneously, the next step is the folding of 45 To these ends my improvements comprise the free end 2 o the underlying portion 2, 2'0 features illustrated in the drawing nccornforwardly over the loops, Fig. 2, and then, panying this specification, wherein Figures by means of the lingers or a. simple gripping l to 3 inclusive represent in perspective tool, as 10, passing said end 2 under the successive steps in the performance of my body portion 2 thereof, through first loop 0 process and Fig. 4 represents in perspective 4 and under the other loops and 6, Fig. 3, 75 the completed bow tie. thereby forming loop 11 enclosing the three For the purpose of adequate description loops and 6. Then said end 2 is drawn my improved process is described as comto the right, partly closing: up loop 11 and, prising a series of steps, but such steps are if tools 7, 8 and 9 have been enniloyed, said not necessarily performed in the order tools are their withdrawn from engagement named, as several of said steps may be perwith the respective loops. 'lhcn end 2 and formed simultaneously and some may be loop 5 are drawn in opposite directions, said performed in more than one order. end to the left and said loop to the right, to

Also while theilnproved bow tie of my tighten the knot and complete the bow tie,

process may be formed from at length of Fig. 4. It will be understood that the showrib-bon or string just adequate for the, puring of Fig. l is somewhat open in character, pose, it may be, and preferably is formed, to show clearly the construction or the bow when a. plurality of successive bow ties is tie and that in practice said knot portion desired, from an end portion of a continuous is drawn tighter than shown, to hold the ribbon, as from a spool or roll thereof. Also bow tie securely in its finished condition. 99

whilesaid bow tie may be formed without I claim: m any relation to a package or box, tie, 1. That improvement in the art oi form- 'for purposes of illustration, is shown as ens ing bow tie comprising the following ployed for joining opposite portions of n steps: Folding over to theright the left end 4.0 ribbon encircling a box or package A. portion of a ribbon or string, folding the 9 Directing attention now to the drawing, right end portion of said ribbon to the left in Fig. 1 thereof the left end portion 2 of over the le'tt end portion. folding said right the ribbon is folded over to the right, prefend overlying portion to the right thereby erobly slightly rearwurdly, then the right forming a loop or how, .then folding said end or continuous portionl, from a. source of end. to the loft, forming a: second loop, then 100 supply not shown is folded to the left over l ohlinp,- the left underlying portion forportion 2. Then said portion 3 is folded wzi-rdly over said loops, passion the end of back to the right forming loop or how 4., said. underlying portion under the body porthen back to the left forming loop ln tion thereof, then through said first loop,

some cases I prefer to complete the bow and then drawing said end to the left and tie with these two loops or bows 4: and'5, but said second loop to the right to complete in. other cases I form a third loop or bow 6 the bow tie. by folding the ribbon back again to the 2. That improvement in the art of formri ht, Fig. 1. ing a, bow tie comprising the following '5 hose and the later steps may all be persteps: Laying the right end portion of a.

n or string over the reerwerdly reachii "a end portion thereof, forming a left loop, from the overlying end portion of aid ribbon, folding the underlying end poreing the end of said underlying portion dei' the body' portion thereof, through 3 first left loop, then outwe 'dly to the a) right under the other loops, then drawing eeid end to the left and said right loop to the night to complete the bow tie.

3. Thai iniprm'ernent in the art fol-ine, bow tie L-onipi'isii'ig the following oo'; Laying the right end portion of a rib- 1 or outing over the ilikllival'diy reaching i end poitioh thereof, forming a plurality loops 01 bows froin the overlying end or how; then a right loop and then a the "ribbon forwardly over said loops,

folding the underi-i. m of the ribbon forwardly s passing the end of said unon under the body portion orough the adjacent 100p, and L said end to the left" and the mo of said adjacent loop .to the upper right to i en the bow tie. v

In Wihness whereof I hereby afiix my signzituie this 26th day of April, 1922.
